Think about it, It ain't that hard to figure out. If your religion is none, then deal with it. I strongly urge everyone reading this to check out WWW.anysoldier.com, and support our troops with a letter, a package or a donation. |

As long as they don't specify only Chirstian or only Jewish or only whatever religion, I see no problem with that. > Why > can't the taxpayers vote to let government money directly support Christian > schools, churches, and nunneries? because it'd be a waste of taxpayer dollars. However, if htey wanted to support those things with their tax dollars, I see nothing wrong with it as long as they didn't specify only Christian. > Why can't the taxpayers vote that no > Christians have to pay taxes, only Jews, Mormons, and Mossmanists? Because that would be a law respecting religion and would therefore be unconstitutional. |
